Re: Having a gratitude attitude
We had a great discussion with @EphraimGopin during his webinar 'Take My Breath Away: Building Relationships One Thank You at a Time'. And in addition to the 13 ways to show gratitude - there were so many great follow up questions (and answers!). If you weren't able to attend and stay for the extended Q&A period - you can catch it all on the recording. Thank you again Ephraim!

Re: Video Applications and Reporting
Yes we have done this by creating a follow-up report that requests a video submission in the form of a URL link. It is a great way to hear directly from grantees.
Re: Having a gratitude attitude
Gratitude is not only proper to do; it can be very simple. Sadly, many NPOs are after the funds and do not follow up until they ask again. Taking the time to say Thank You should be automatic. It makes the donor feel valued and more likely to give again and give more significant donations. All of us want to feel connected!
Colleagues, remember, there is a lot of competition. If you do not connect with donors, your competitor will!
